This being a collective scroll of any questions the Scribes and visitors of Candlekeep wish to put to a renowned author of the Realms, namely - Richard Lee Byers, whos works include: Dissolution, The Shattered Mask, The Black Bouquet and the upcoming Year of Rogue Dragons Trilogy.

Present your questions herein and check back to see what news may also come forth from the quill of this author.

I won't say this one is pure superhero fun. I'll let you be the judge of that. But it does open with a flying superhero fighting dinosaurs at a world-famous landmark, so that indicates the vibe I was going for.

Posted - 16 Nov 2018 : 14:06:35 NISABA JOURNAL: ISSUE 1 is now available! This is an anthology of stories set in the worlds of Green Ronin Publishing and includes my story "The Prisoner," a MUTANTS AND MASTERMINDS superhero tale.

Posted - 05 Sep 2018 : 14:26:03 GraphicAudio's audio drama version of my fantasy novel BLACK DOGS is available now! (BLACK DOGS is my first full-length novel about the mercenary company the Black River Irregulars. It's sword and sorcery with a steampunk overlay set in Privateer Press's Iron Kingdoms universe.)

Posted - 15 Aug 2018 : 14:55:37 The audio play adaptation of my fantasy novella MURDER IN CORVIS (the origin story of the Iron Kingdoms mercenary team the Black River Irregulars) is now shipping in all formats.

If you've enjoyed my other sword-and-sorcery stories, my Forgotten Realms work, for instance, I think you'll like this one, too, and I hope you'll check it out.

Just one caveat: An earlier version of this book appeared under the title THE GHOST IN THE STONE. If you bought GHOST, I wouldn't want you to buy this one under the impression you were getting something 100% new.

Although if you liked GHOST and want to see the story continue relatively quickly, you COULD buy a copy for a friend or post a review. Just a thought.

Posted - 01 May 2018 : 19:33:27 Some people have asked when a print edition of THE HEP CATS OF ULTHAR AND OTHER LOVECRAFTIAN TALES would be available. The answer is, as of today!

This book from Macabre Ink (an imprint of Crossroad Press) collects many of my best Cthulhu Mythos and cosmic horror stories including three never before published. The tales range through the Middle Ages to the future and from Lovecraft's New England to the stars, and while the predominant vibe is of course horror, there's also some humor as well as some swordplay for heroic fantasy readers.

Bottom line, this is a book I'm quite proud of, and if you haven't already, I hope you'll check it out.

Posted - 11 Mar 2018 : 14:18:27 I'm proud to announce the publication of THE HEP CATS OF ULTHAR AND OTHER LOVECRAFTIAN TALES. The book collects thirteen of my best stories of cosmic horror and Cthulhu Mythos shenanigans.

The title novelette and two of the short stories have never been published before.

As you probably guessed, the predominant vibe is horror, but there's also some swordplay and action for those who enjoy my heroic fantasy and even a funny story.

The eBook is available now. The paperback edition will follow shortly.

Posted - 26 Jan 2018 : 14:00:49 To the best of my knowledge, I wrote the only Scarred Lands novels.

Posted - 25 Jan 2018 : 22:50:26 Hey Richard, I just noticed that you were the author of the novels for the scarred lands setting by sword and sorcery. I was wondering to your knowledge, was any other novels for that setting ever done?

Posted - 29 Dec 2017 : 20:28:25 I've got a story in the new HEROES OF HOLLOW EARTH anthology. You can check it out here:

IRE OF THE VOID, my new Lovecraftian/cosmic horror novella, is now available on the Fantasy Flight Games website.

This one ties into FFG's "Arkham Horror" game, but you don't need any familiarity with the game to read and enjoy it. Without giving away too much, the story features my take on one of my favorite classic cosmic-horror menaces, I'm pleased with how it came out, and I hope you'll give it a look.

I was very happy to see this when I checked the morning scrolls! The second Forgotten Realms author to write for the new Arkham Horror novellas. That's two out of two so far

Many thanks for the updates. BY the way, your email address is subscribed to threads at Candlekeep but is bouncing due to no longer existing (your old AOL account). Might be worth updating your profile with your new address

THE TALES OF BASIL AND MOEBIUS is now available in both Kindle and paperback editions.

Stackpole, and Aaron Allston as well as three novelettes by me. Check it out:

I'm going to have to check that out. I've obviously enjoyed your stuff, and Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole are favorites, too. I've not read Aaron Allston, I don't believe, but I know of some of his stuff.

Posted - 07 Nov 2017 : 12:37:22 BLACK CROWNS, my new Black River Irregulars fantasy novel, is out. The Black River Irregulars are a quirky band of mercenaries who fight and connive their way through Privateer Press's Iron Kingdoms universe.

The Iron Kingdoms is gritty sword-and-sorcery with a steampunk overlay, and if you like my Brotherhood of the Griffon series or just heroic fantasy or steampunk in general, there's a good chance you'll like this too. Here's a link to check it out:
